I researched how long the virus can live outside a host, and it can live up to 23 days. I don't think zombies really exist but if a person/animal is infected with Ebola, you probably want them to glorp as little blood as possible. They may already be bleeding externally due to the disease process.
If you pick off our fictional zombie with a rifle at 500 yards, they are going to glorp blood everywhere.
For the next 21 days, any predators, or even birds or other critters in the area who may come in contact with the blood could conceivably transport it to an area where a human (you) might then come into contact with the virus.
The zombie example is a good way to think through possibilities for infection spread.
